Independent Tree came out last fall to trim my trees. They did a great job and left my yard looking better than when they arrived. This spring, the rain-heavy branches were blocking my satellite reception. Alan came back, trimmed the interfering branches, and in minutes my problem was solved. Thanks, Independent Tree and Alan Kraus!
